The LORD's command to the church in Sardis:
Revelation 3:1-4
King James Version
3 And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write;
These things saith he that hath
the seven Spirits of God,
and the seven stars;
I know thy works,
that thou hast a name
that thou livest, and art dead.
2 Be watchful,
and strengthen the things
which remain, that are ready to die:
for I have not found thy works perfect before God.
3 Remember therefore
how thou hast received and heard,
and hold fast, and repent.
If therefore thou shalt not watch,
I will come on thee as a thief,
and thou shalt not know
what hour I will come upon thee.
4 Thou hast a few names even in Sardis
which have not defiled their garments;
and they shall walk with me in white:
for they are worthy.
To him that overcometh:
Revelation 3:5-6
King James Version
5 He that overcometh,
the same shall be clothed in white raiment;
and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life,
but I will confess his name before my Father,
and before his angels.
6 He that hath an ear, let him hear
what the Spirit saith
unto the churches.
The next post is on the church in Philadelphia.
